I use the canon 550EX flash unit. I set the exposure compensation on the
flash unit + exposure for brighter subjects, -exposure for darker.

I noticed that it's a little bit different to judge flash exposure
from histogram than it is to judge available light exposure.

Hi!
I usually use M mode, somewhere between 1/30 and 1/125, depending on the lens used.
Flash in E-TTL mode, center FP, FEL sometimes, if it is tricky.
Depending on the distance, effect and lens I bounce or not.

I think the key here is that the area that is evaluating how much
flash is required may be on a "black" area. Therefore, it may be trying to
light up the back wall and th

But in Tv mode you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture
for the ambient light. So the subject is getting fully lighted with th

I start on M, 1/200, f8, ISO100 and see what I get (digital E-TTL). If
the roof is white and low, I bounce, otherside I go straight on. If I'm
in conditions of random shooting (like parties) I use ISO 400.
Often I can get away with a 20mm lens, f/2.8, ISO 400 or 800, and a

Hi!
I've always wondered how do you guys shoot with flash? I'm talking
about those inside shots with too little light (and where you do not
want to go beyond ISO 400 for grain/noise). Let's forget multi-, fill-
and studio-flash systems for a while. A couple of ways come to mind:
